Disco Set by Karen Day

I have a Father's Day card to share with you today, using one of the fun Shake Your Booty sets: Disco Set (Sku #4307).

My father has been known to wear... well, let's go with "bright" attire on occassion, so I thought this card would work for when he's in a bit of a goofball mood.  I've used the new FDMD Set (Sku #4454) for the Father's Day sentiment.  Here's the inside:

The inside sentiment comes with the Disco Set, and is: "Shake Your Booty!"

His little derriere is paper pieced and popped up on an action wobble!

I also did a version without the Father's Day sentiment, that can be used for a birthday or other occassion.

Copics used: Skin E13, E11, E00, E000

Shades: C7, C5, C3

Shirt: YR16, YR15, YR12, Y17, Y13

Shoes/flower centers: E37, E35, E33

Happy Stamping everyone!

Lazy Boy Father's Day

Hello Ai fans !!
It's Crystal here and today I thought it's time to start making Father's day cards , this is my first of several to come. I am using the Lazy Boy set #4159 and the  wood Father's day sentiment # 1883.
to make this card I cut my layers off my gypsy ( Wild Card cartridge) using the Cricut
cut at 4" by 5 1/2"
my designer paper is the DCWV Guy Stack , love this paper it has perfect colors and patterns
so card base is standard A2 41/4" by 5 1/2" then plaid is 4 1/8" by 5 1/4" , then blue diamond layer  , and brown cross hatch  , I colored my image and fussy cut him out popped him up on foam tape , the sentiment stamped on blue and made into a banner with brown twine wrapped and tied into a bow , extra large gromlets are added.
copic colors used
inside my card I stamped the wood Father's day wordsin Memento Rich cocoa and colored with copics and added shimmer pen to give them the extra something
I hope this gives you a few ideas you might want to try on your cards ...
